Im in the market for a new gti. I'm looking at the autobahn and the drivers edition packages. Can anyone help make up my decision? I like aspects of both cars. Also what should I be spending on each? I'm about 85-90% sure what I want. I'm gonna get the 4dr.
Also carbon gray or white? I like both colors. Anyone have experience taking car of each? I have silver now.

Might as well wait till the fall for the MK7.

New cars generally come out in the fall but I'd still wait till spring for the MK7 over a MK6 now.

Not all the time for all new models.
There is no 2014 golfs or GTIs and production of the mkvi ended last month. So any new cars will only be stock inventory already at dealers until the mk7 arrives in late Q2 next year.
Could be hard for someone to get the exact mkvi they want in their area from now on.
Mk7 golf already in Europe since November last year and gti came out in April.

I think it will take precisely one drive of the Mk7 performance edition with adaptive chassis control to make us all forget where it's been built!
But we are off on a tangent - the OP is after a Mk6.
After first owning Carbon Grey I now have the white and prefer the way the latter accentuates the fine understated Teutonic design. Goodluck!

The Serron wheels on the Autobahn are hideous. How much is the drivers edition? I seem to remember it being pretty expensive for a shift knob and whatever else you get... I have white and don't really like the color.

The white is pretty easy to take care of I guess. My last car was red and it would look clean forever. White really shows dirt when it rains, but it hides scratches and swirls and things really well (at least I think, don't really have any...) The hatch gets very dirty, sometimes in one drive, but you'll probably run into that with any car that has this basic shape.
